Top Ten Heavyweights: 6ft and Under.

[D4thincarnation]

Jim Jeffries

over 6 ft

[D4thincarnation]

Chris Byrd should also be on this list

Decent call, was thinking Tua as well.

[D4thincarnation]

You've listed all the ones I was going to say...Jack Dempsey.
David Tua though he wasn't a world champion he knocked 4 or 5 out.

Dempsey would definitely been on the list if he was 6 ft or under, but he was 6'1"

[D4thincarnation]

Just have Liston as part of the top 10, listed as 6ft 1/2.

That would be cheating though

[D4thincarnation]

The fact that Tyson, Frazier and Marciano have been voted as the top 3 is pretty disgraceful. Sam Langford and Ezzard Charles have been shown no love, I honestly can't believe it. If this poll were in the history section the results would be so different lol.

TS: great idea

Langford was blighted by racism that stopped him becoming world champ, but he was never world champ while Tyson, Frazier and Marciano were all champ and was the undisputed king for a while at least.

Charles, fantastic boxer, but Maricano did beat him twice.


All great boxers though on the list. Who do you think would come out on top in a round robin tournament?

Btw Tyson and Frazier would beat all the others on that list pretty easily. Reason: size difference. All those guys on the list are around 180-190 pounds, but Tyson and Frazier are over 220 pounds.

Frazier fought at about 205 and Tyson 215 at their best. On top of that size does not dictate greatness.

Dempsey was 6 ft 1 as was Liston I think.

Archie Moore maybe, didn't even see his name on the list

Archie Moore maybe, didn't even see his name on the list

Moore was beaten by 3 others on the list Charles, Marciano, and Paterson.

Who do you see Moore beating?

Moore was beaten by 3 others on the list Charles, Marciano, and Paterson.

Who do you see Moore beating?

Moore was almost 40 when he lost to Marciano and Patterson. I think he'd handle Tyson, Walcott, Frazier maybe. Tunney was talented but Moore could take him. A prime Moore would also beat Floyd Patterson
